peace of mind

after receiving my charges in the mail I was referred to Patrick. He immediately reviewed my case and responded to me in a timely manner what my situation was and what my options were. He negotiated a fair deal with the DA and kept my case from ever going to trial. I would gladly refer Patrick to a...ny friend or family member that was in need of a great criminal defence lawyer.

Great Partner

You need to be on the same page with your attorney, especially in cases that involve charges which aren't supported by legitimate evidence. Patrick allowed true justice to happen in my case and the outcome resulted in 3 felony charges being dropped. If you want results hire Patrick, plain & simple.... The DA in my case was close to impossible to work with and Patrick made it happen. Was really great-full that I was referred to Patrick.

Patrick has been my criminal attorney for more than 10 years. If your looking for a solid attorney and a good personal experience , Patrick's your man. The service is inexplicable. There are no smoke and mirrors. he fights hard and will tell you how it is. He has become a friend of mine over the year...s and I will continue to refer and endorse him. Baron

Grateful and pleasantly surprised

I, very gratefully, was referred to Patrick by a friend. As an attorney he went above and beyond what I expected. He was not only an expert in my situation (3 DUI's within 10 years with very high BAC) he was compassionate and invested in my case as a person. I am proud to say I am over 2 years sob...er and wouldn't be without people like Patrick in my corner helping me get myself back.

DUI Case

Patrick stayed on top of the case, kept me up to date on how all hearings and meetings went, got me reduced community service, and reduced fines, and reduced charges. He was very professional and helped me realize the best possible outcome in my case. On top of that he's a cool guy and a good man. Mu...ch respect, thank you Patrick!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
